Tom McDougall was in Billings on Thursday morning to hear a speech by former NFL quarterback Archie Manning, so he thought he might also pop in at the Billings Public Library to find out how his technology is doing.
McDougall, owner and president of High Point Networks in West Fargo, N.D., last year helped the new library trim $350,000 worth of technology requests — computers, servers and other devices — down to about $160,000. That was still enough to pay for the 87 public computers in the new library, as well as the systems to help manage those computers, and other devices including the system that manages the self-serve checkout process.
"They didn't need a $350,000 solution," said Damon Andrews, an account manager in the company's Billings office. Added McDougall: "It's a very good move and it's always cost effective to compare what people start off asking for with what they really need. We do more consulting than selling."
McDougall and other High Point Networks employees — Andrews, Matt Peabody, Paul Wold and Mike Ross — were taken around the library Thursday morning by Kathy Robins, the library's information systems coordinator, to see how the technology is being used.
Here's one improvement that Lynne Puckett, another tour guide and the networking services librarian, likes the best: In the old library, she had to make updates to common computer applications, like Adobe Flash or Java, on each of 50 computers individually, during a time when no one was using the computer.
Now, with just a few keystrokes, she uses a KACE product from Dell to update each of the 87 shiny new computers simultaneously.
In the Integra Learning Lab, the guests were shown the progress that Volunteers in Service to America teachers Kersey Voss and Andrew Golden are making as they set up the Learning Lab Youth Mentor Coordination Project. The two expect to have the lab, for middle school and high school students, up and running by May or June. It'll focus on science, technology, engineering and math education, as well as the arts.
McDougall said he was especially impressed with a sound booth inside the lab.
"Very few colleges teach sound engineering," he said.
Puckett took the group to a second-story classroom with 12 computers and the adjoining commons area with 24 more, nearly all of them in use Thursday morning. She dimmed the classroom lights and lowered a screen to demonstrate how teachers, librarians and others use the facility.
"It's an aesthetic building," she explained to the visitors, "so it's nice to have pretty computers."
The group was shown three areas that serve the checkout and return processes. First, Puckett checked out a couple items at the self-service kiosks now familiar to any library user. Then the group was taken to a room where materials are automatically sorted into bins once they're checked in and kept while they await reshelving.
Finally, the group visited the room constructed at the terminus of a 100-foot conveyor belt, the end of the journey for books that are returned through the outside drop slot one at a time so that each book or DVD can be electronically checked in directly at the slot.
"This is really cool," McDougall said after completing the hour-long tour. "I like the building — it's so open and light." He said his fellow employees "kept talking about how cool this is, so I wanted to see it for myself."

X.Org 6.9 / 7.0 – Next Generation X11
The first major X release for over 10 years, X11R7, has finally adopted a modular approach. X11R6.9, which uses the same codebase, is the last monolithic release for existing systems.
Even as AIGLX and Xgl are making their appearance in the Linux world, the venerable X Window system is getting a new start with a new release that promises to be the biggest change in over 10 years. X Window provides the basic framework for graphics in Linux. Desktop environments like KDE and Gnome operate through X, or more specifically, X11, the reigning version of the X protocol, which has been around since 1987. The X.org Foundation [1], a non-profit organization that has led X11 development since 2004, recently announced the simultaneous release of X11 versions 6.9 and 7.0. Both versions offer similar features. The main difference is that X11R7 comes with an all-new modular design.

Amphoe Sam Khok, Pathum Thani
Tel. -
Category : Temple
Attraction Details :
This historic temple is the first of its kind in Pathum Thani, constructed by Mon ethnic minority migrants from Burma. Located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, Wat Sing houses an Ayutthaya-style gilded Buddha image, Luang Pho To, depicted in a rare Mara posture, as well as the statue of Luang Pho Phet, a reclining Buddha image.
Within the compound is also a museum for Mon antiques, once the residence of the temple's monks. A teak reproduction of the footprint of the Lord Buddha as well as a bedstead utilized by King Rama II during his visit to Sam Khok are on display. Visitors can also witness a local craft - the area is known for the production of old-style Mon bricks, signature Pathum Thani products.
To get there, take the Pathum Thani-Sam Khok route for approximately 3 kilometers. Turn right at the crossroads to the temple.
The temple is open daily from 8.00 am-5.00 pm.

A simple recipeincluding just four ingredientscan transform adult human skin cells into cells that resemble embryonic stem cells, researchers report in an immediate early publication of the journal Cell, a publication of Cell Press. The converted cells have many of the physical, growth and genetic features typically found in embryonic stem cells and can differentiate to produce other tissue types, including neurons and heart tissue, according to the researchers.
They added, however, that a comprehensive screen of the activity of more than 30,000 genes showed that the so-called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are similar, not identical, to embryonic stem cells. "Pluripotent" refers to the ability to differentiate into most other cell types.
The chemical cocktail used in the new study is identical to one the team showed could produce iPS cells from adult mouse cells in another Cell report last year. That came as a surprise, said Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University in Japan, because human embryonic stem cells differ from those in mice. Those differences had led them to suspect "that some other factors might be required to generate human iPS cells, he said.
The findings are an important step forward in the quest for embryonic stem cell-like cells that might sidestep the ethical stumbling blocks of stem cells obtained from human embryos. He emphasized, however, that it would be premature to conclude that iPS cells can replace embryonic stem cells.
Embryonic stem cells, derived from the inner cell mass of mammalian blastocysts--balls of cells that develop after fertilization and go on to form a developing embryo--have the ability to grow indefinitely while maintaining pluripotency, the researchers explained. Those properties have led to expectations that human embryonic stem cells might have many scientific and clinical applications, most notably the potential to treat patients with various diseases and injuries, such as juve

Sort of in a quandry. I'm patching a plaster wall that is about 3/8" plaster and brown coat over 3/8" drywall. (so, 3/4"). I was going to use 1/2" drywall over 1/4" plywood to patch. My quandry is that the edge of the plywood meets with the edge of the 3/8" drywall under the plaster, so that my 1/2" drywall is proud of the edge. It's flush to the wall and the edge of the 1/2"drywall would get plenty of mud but it would seem to mostly be joining with the brown coat and plaster and not the 3/8" drywall. Hope that makes sense. I was thinking of stacking 1/2" and 1/4" drywall or 2 layers of 3/8" drywall but the plywood is just a tad oversized which works good for me. Anyway, will the bond be as strong using the plywood? just holding a piece there for demonstration. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You want the base materials to be slight thinner tan the finished.surface. I would just use 1/2 in drywall and EasySand to make up the1/4 inch. This layers of regular premixed mud put a lot of water into the substrate, and then shrink horribly as they dry. If you mix EasySand about as thick as peanut bitter it has very little shrinkage and you can fill that area in mostly one coat with a finish coat (or two) to smooth it off. If you use Easysand20 you can easily get in two coats per day. It does not have to be dry for the next coat, just set. Put a blob aside and when that is set put the next coat on. |
Thanks Brickeye. My question was regarding the integrity of the bond between the plywood and the mud. I would have to do about 15" of 1/4" thick EZ sand your way. Seems a little much. With the plywood it already is about an 1/8th shy from level at the seam. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Sun, Jun 9, 13 at 13:18
Plywood, even though it's fairly stable, is still wood, and is still hygroscopic. It will absorb water and expand. Then shrink when it dries out. Not good in a patch for short term or long term. I agree with Brickeye. Use the EZ Sand and drywall only. Maybe some fiberglass mesh to increase the strength. |
Wood is NOT a GOOD base for mud or plaster. Even the old wood lathe relied on the 'keys' of plaster forced between the gaps of the wood for most of the strength. 1/4 inch thick layer of EasySand n top of drywall is nothing. If you want some extra assurance, cut Elmer's white glue 50% with water ad paint it on the drywall. Wait for it to become tacky and then apply the first layer of Easysand. |

Thanks Ok, I don't know if this is bad etiquette or not but I can't get more than 1 pic posted here. So, below is a link to another site with more pics of what I'm trying to explain: I understand that wood is not a good substrate for plaster or mud. The plywood is a shim. Maybe the new pics will make it clearer. As far as 1/4" mud goes, these pics are like 1/100th of the job. |

Formulas can get very complicated very quickly. So when you start getting answers that don't look right or maybe you just want to double check to see that they are right, the Evaluation feature can help you examine a formula piece by piece. If you watched the movie on the IF function, this is a similar worksheet and here's what this worksheet is saying. It's looking at the sales of all of these people and it's evaluating, it's creating an average. If you take a look at any of the commission rates and look at this complicated formula, what the formula is doing is it's saying if the amount that the person's sold is at least average or average or above average, then let's give them a higher commission rate.
If not, if they're selling below the average then we give them a lower commission rate and we're finding the commission rates over here in Column F. So let's go and evaluate this formula piece by piece to make some sense out of it. So go up to the Formulas tab and over here under Formula Auditing, click Evaluate Formula and this comes up, let me just move it out of the way. So this is showing us the formula as it exists now and you notice this B5 is underlined because that's what it's starting at. So click Evaluate and it says IF B5. What is B5? Well, B5 is 509.7 and there is 509.7.
Well, is this greater than or equal to this average? Now this average is underlined so when you click Evaluate, it's going to evaluate that underline. Oh okay, if 509.7 is at least 537 point a bunch of numbers, that's the average, okay. Click Evaluate and now it says IF False, meaning that okay now it evaluated the fact that 509.70 is false, that it's equal to or greater than the average. Now, the whole thing is underlined, click Evaluate again and it evaluates that statement to 5% and then we click Close and we're back to where we were.
So by evaluating this formula, we can see exactly why this number is 5%.

There were a few of us watching the keynote via live video hoping they would extend the broadcast to the animation comp… they didn't but the audio was left going so with rapid clicks of the refresh button you could watch a variety of stills and listen to the out of time music (and audience, commentary from Todd etc). It started out with Todd announcing that the 5 entries were all very close (compared to previous comps) and he spoke about the categories to vote in. Best animation (that I thought was to be chosen by the judges if you read the rules), Audience choice for best music video, and best overall chosen by all in attendance. It was also announced that a late entry would be shown at the end, but was not in the running for the comp. NOTE: The observations below are based upon WEB CAM STILL IMAGES, along with the live audio from the theatre. I was not there, Doug and Jared will have a much better report… I assume! Video 1: vid 1: Sk8er Boi – Avril Levigne (i don't know how to spell her name… I take that as a GOOD THING) It was set to some action in the starwars universe, there was a skate ramp, storm troopers etc. Colours looked a bit reddish. I assume it was playing on the Anakin and Padme relationship explored within the latest films. If so, then I think that is a pretty decent interpretation of the video. Video 2: This one looked like a cartoon to start out… and then when the credits hit… EGOLESS!!! A new animation from Ben B. It was announced afterwards that it was done in flash. The song was by Evanescence (spelling?) I did not catch the title. It looked cool! I assume it will appear HERE eventually. Video3: Doug and Jared's was up next… was the tune 'Powerhouse'? It looked cool, and the music was great, but there were lots of cuts so it was hard to see what was happening. There were indians and a car and heaps of other stuff. It had good lighting and a crisp picture from what I could tell. I am looking forward to seeing it. It got a hearty applause afterwards. I assume it will appear HERE soon. Video 4: Minifigstudios' entry "Over the hills and far away". It was set in a prison, and had some neat little thought bubble effects and a variety of camera angels. I hope it gets released soon too. Video 5: Hali's entry "A Forest". Hard to comment upon my own film. Literally and metaphorically darker than the others, and I don't think as appealing to the audience, but I knew that, I really went for the 80′s video clip look and feel. My stomach dropped when I saw the Onscreen display appear over the end of my clip (I worked extremely hard at to get the timing with the closing seconds just right… ). I heard Todd say something about it looking fine on his TV at home. I guess part of the reason is that the lighting in this film goes through a progression from from lighter to darker to extremely bright… on purpose. Oh well, I've kinda come to expect SOME sort of technical difficulties these days. You can download this one from here. Video 6: Not part of the comp, due to being a late submission, Todd used it as a filler. I'm not really sure of many details about this one, the music was cool though, and I think it incorporated a lot of still images of I can't wait for Doug and Jared's report! Hali |

I couldn't hear anything, but I could see the slide show, and I saw song titles for all but the 4th film. I wrote them down, but forgot to bring them home from work where I was watching them (I know, I'm a great employee.) The Evanescence song was "Bring Me to Life," if I remember correctly. And Doug and Jared's was Powerhouse by the Cartoon Network Orchestra, also if memory servers. |

Bring me to life is an easy song to make a video seeing as to how it can be |

Hi everyone! Video 1: Skater Boi: Turns out this was the same guy who won last year with the Blok Wars entry. I thought the animation was poor, especially when compared to Blok Wars. The concept was really hard to fathom- I think the Princess ditched skater boi Anakin for Darth Vader. I think. Video 2: Awake: Egoless is not dead! Todd told us Ben B had entered and that his entry was all flash so I was really looking forward to this one. For some reason this entry was plagued by poor sound. Todd blamed the video that Ben sent it in on as none of the other entries had this problem and they were all on the same tape. The video itself was of Castle figs playing instruments and singing the song. There was no real story, though some attempts were made to convey one (the lead singer/princess loses her soul in conjunction with the line from the song). I thought it looked great visually but was somehow lacking in the animation. I wished he had used more movement of the figs. Audience reaction was OK. Fair applause and some chuckles. Video3: A Grand and Merry Race, using the song 'Powerhouse' by the Cartoon Network Orchestra by me and Jared. What can I say? I tried to get people to stay for the Animation Fest by bringing models from my film and having them displayed on the table before me during the Q&A. Whenever someone would stop to look at them, I would explain that they were from our film and they should stay and check it out. I think it worked for a few people which is better than nothing Video 4: Minifigstudios' entry "Over the hills and far away". Video 5: 'The Forest' by the Cure, sent in by the one and only Hali. I've been waiting forever for this one and was not disappointed. It was perfectly timed to the music and used light and shadow to maximum effect. There wasn't much story that I could tell and the overall theme was somewhat discomorting, though I can't exactly tell you why- Jared called it 'Good Company Part 2′. It just had a sinister feel to it. As there were no jokes or gags, the audience was stone silent throughout and at the end it got a high amount of applause. For my part, if I didn't know better, I'd swear Nick was using a professional camera. it just looks that good. So, who won you ask? I wish I knew. Todd stunned us all by not announcing the winners last night but by saying it would be tonight before the other film festival. Curse you Todd! Well, that's my report for now. I'll pop back on later and announce the big news the moment I hear it! Later! |

Thanks for the report, Doug. It must have been wonderful hearing those personal comments! I am right now watching the 'home video' comp on the webcam (while downloading your huge avi)… Wondering if an announcement was made for the winners… but also marvelling that it looks like HEAPS more people are there… *sigh* hali EDIT: Looks like they're showing our films again… once again, looks like the place cleaned out!!!

Hehe, facebook thinks, because I satirize conservatives and Mormons and religious people so much that the ads I'd appreciate would be for Rick Perry's Day of public Prayer, and the 22 month old preacher, and "Living Scriptures".
The Economist always talks about how good facebooks advertising aiming is, but it has a bit of a hard time when I always say the opposite of what I like, as sarcastic satire.
Although, maybe it works in a sense, because they are interesting definitely, even if I don't agree with them, being a liberal atheist.
I've kinda disconnected more and more from the world, seemingly.
I think the problem is I need to start smoking weed.
I've started spending too much time thinking, thinking about the universe, and shit. Look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Ultra-Deep_Field
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field. 13 billion light years away.
I especially like that picture from 1:35-1:41.
Pretty fuckin hawt.
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
First: http://users.drew.edu/~jlenz/whynot.html
It's well done.
For example, it points out something that I didn't realize before, but that's true if you think about it.
If there truly is a difference between "bad" and "good", and God makes the laws of Morality, what's "bad" and "good", then obviously there is no difference to God, so he can't be "good".
Think about it, if God makes the laws of bad and good, then he can't be good, or bad, except of course by his own definition, there's no way to judge him to be good.
So anyway, about exactly 1 week ago, my shitty laptop shitted out on me again.
Which it also did about 6 months before that.
We fixed it that time, but decided to not bother this time, and instead got me a much more competent laptop. This one has the feel of quality.
Or at least more quality than that shitty piece of shit. It's certainly more solid.
The last one was a Dell. I've never heard good things about Dells... And it was at the lower end of the spectrum anyway. This one is a more mid-range Samsung.
Anyway, news, anything interesting.
Not much, really.
Okay, that's not why.
But it's close :P
So, I just learned creepy shit on Morgan Freeman through the wormhole, and I want to explain it on here, so maybe I'll understand it a bit better, if you guys wanna read, that's fine.
I just learned that the way we see reality is only one way to see it. Our three dimensional way of looking at things is only one way to describe the reality we see. But there are actually 2 ways.
This comes from a huge debate in physics started by a guy I can't remember, and Stephen Hawking.
It started about black holes.
Or that's how I feel all the time, at least.
Bored, certainly.
My God, I know my circulation's never been fantastic wonders, I mean, I turn red really really easily, my blood always goes to my feet, and my hands if I let them hang down.
People always mention that, it drives me fucking insane, woah, your hands are all veiny and red!, No, really, I've never ever noticed that. It's a good thing we have perceptive you here to point out after a few seconds what I've never noticed in my 15 years of existence.
Is fucking weird.
Most of the actual fear was the anticipation on the way to the bungee jumping place, and then I was over it mostly by the time we got there, I'd mastered myself.
And then it came back a bit when I saw the bridge, and how very, very high it was, 200 feet above the river.
And a bit more when I walked out on the bridge and was able to look through the holes in the metal grating surface and see how the river looked even farther away at the top of the bridge.
And then I saw people jump off, and it was weird.
Except that I leave tomorrow for Whistler, the ski resort.
Tomorrow, I go bungee jumping. Fucking awesome.
Then we have 3 days of skiing. Hooray.
It'd probably be soooooooooooo much easier to approach CAG if I was just buzzed or something....
So night, and see you guys again I guess maybe tomorrow, it depends if I'll have wifi up there. Well see ya.

Since Grisban's ability only activates at the end of his turn, it is useless against Immobilize, and is technically useless against Poison because of his Strength. Weakened is removed by resting, so the ability won't affect it.
Stun, Burning and Bleeding take an action to discard, so using a rest action to lose them is a bit pointless unless you needed to rest anyways and stun forces you to use your first action anyways.
It would still be good against Cursed, Diseased and Doomed.
It's in the errata. His ability activates as soon as you declare a rest action: you have to wait until the end of your turn to get the fatigue back, but the condition is gone immediately.
I missed that one. But at least, the more expansions we get, the more conditiones there are that he can use his ability against.
Still not as good an ability as most other characters, though.

I love writing about enchanted road trips, shadow worlds, and alien romance while eating lots of popcorn. I live in a tree house on the central California coast. After twenty-plus years as a freelance graphic designer/animator with clients including E! Entertainment Television and The Los Angeles Times, I crossed over into the world of non-fiction and followed my heart to the world of fiction.
I'm the author of the Shadow Series & the Starjump Series, Winnemucca, a small-town fairy tale and The Storytellers.
Review by:
Melissa Hopkins
on Sep. 23, 2012 :
These are some very imaginative stories, but not quite as gripping and suspenseful as they should be for horror. I wasn't pulled along any of the stories because the author seems to tell the stories instead of letting the stories tell themselves. There's a lot of repetition, and the author made me feel like they didn't trust me to understand what was going on inside the stories without them telling me several times and providing needless explanations.

Bristol Motorist Arrested for Driving Under the Influence of Drum and Bass
LTJ Bukem, Danno: Reckless driver deemed 'Amen'-tally fit to stand trial
If you listen to old Metalheadz DJ sets while you're driving to work, just remember: When the MC shouts for a rewind, that doesn't mean to attempt a spin-back on your steering wheel. That seems to be the takeaway from a court case in Bristol, U.K., in which a commercial van operator arrested for driving erratically turned out to have been hopped up on jungle music.
Via Ben Beaumont-Thomas, This Is Bristol reports that Aaron Cogley, 25, was pulled over after swerving from lane to lane, cutting off motorists, and running red lights. After a breathalyzer test showed no alcohol in his system, prosecutors say, he told police "he was listening to drum and bass and was in a hurry." The defense lawyer assigned to reprazent him, likewise, entered a plea of temporary insanity due to bass in his client's face, claiming, "It was stupid. He was carried away because of the intoxicating effects of drum and bass music."
What's striking is that Cogley, a professional driver, hails from Portishead, a bedroom community of Bristol; when his license is finally reinstated, 12 months from now, perhaps he'd be better off stocking his CD changer with trip-hop — or at least opt for EZ Rollers over DJ Hazard.

OMG....Today was a good day looking into my small pond, and seeing live koi. The ice is finally starting to clear from my small pond. I chose not to stress my koi out, by not transferring them into the new big pond in October. I was regretting that when my submergible pump froze up at one foot depth in the middle of winter. My small pond is only 2 feet deep, this just shows the resilience of koi. So feeding my koi all those crazy things maybe paid off. I hope you guys that suffered the harsh winter fare well with your ponds. Craig |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am happy for you. All I see is snow and ice here in north west NJ. It has been melting so maybe I will see fish in the next weak or so. |
Sharing your joy. I will have to wait a few weeks yet to see if mine survived. Still ice but shows signs of melting. |

I'm happy for you...and your koi! I know I worried all winter when my pond froze. This is the first time the pond has frozen completely over, so I was really concerned. Then when I went out yesterday to check on things, my koi were moving around and a couple of them even came to the surface. |
I know its just because I haven't seen my koi in 4 months. But man do they look like they have grown. Good luck to ya guys, Warm weather is on the horizon. Craig |

Haven't seen a single koi in my 8000 gal pond here in central Indiana yet, but DID see one of my big aquatic turtles sunning yesterday. Looks like spring may finally be on it's way! |
Today we have had enough ice melt to get a first glimpse of my fish. Two hole fish but mostly tails sticking out of their cave. They no longer fit in the cave;-) I cant wait till it gets warm enough to get the pump back in and started up. |
Spotted my goldfish... looks like they all made it, even my tiny ryukin. |
Woot!!!! I just wish the weather would break for good now |

I've got Spring fever so bad right now and a terrible itch to go outside and get things started, but as long as the weathers not going to hold out...I'll have to put it off for a little while longer. I can not wait for warmer days to be the norm and to be able to enjoy working in the garden again and watching my babies swimming around. |

Following the recent announcement that Ultimate Fighting Championship has partnered with Reebok to make the athletic apparel company its exclusive outfitter, Reebok has signed UFC champions Ronda Rousey and Jon Jones to help spearhead the development process for its new line of products. read news >>
I think it's safe to say that Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones, as well as women's bantamweight titleholder Ronda Rousey, won't be a part of the upcoming class-action lawsuit against ZUFFA. Just a hunch. That's because "Bones" and "Rowdy" were both added to the list of mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters signed to Reebok, alongside former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks and reigning lightweight straphanger Anthony Pettis. What does that mean, exactly? read news >>
When the UFC's landmark, six-year deal with Reebok was announced two weeks ago, it was understood that top-tier stars would benefit. Tuesday, Reebok announced that UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey had signed on to represent the brand. According to the company's press release, Jones and Rousey "will be working closely with Reebok to help develop and launch the brand's new range of UFC apparel, as well as a new collection of footwear and appar read news >>

And it all begins this Saturday against Gilbert Melendez. Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight titleholder, Anthony Pettis, will make his much-anticipated return to the Octagon this weekend (Sat., Dec. 6, 2014) when he defends his title for the first time against Gilbert Melendez at UFC 181. If he's successful, Pettis hopes to eliminate some of the doubters (like this one) who have been criticizing him for spending over a year on the sidelines, though it's not like he had a choice, a read news >>
Die, 'Borg. I get the feeling that Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight titleholder Ronda Rousey isn't a fan of Cristiane Justino, who like the "Rowdy" judoka, cut her teeth in the Strikeforce promotion a few years back. But unlike the champ, "Cyborg" has yet to cross over to the Octagon. If and when she does, Rousey tells Bleacher Report it will end badly. Very badly. "She's a fraud and she's terrible for the sport. And if they are going to bring her into the UFC, it is my read news >>
The UFC kicked off a loaded schedule with its "The Time is Now" press conference on Monday in Las Vegas, with many of the promotion's heavy hitters squaring off. read news >>
If you expected UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey to show any sympathy for rival Cyborg Justino due to the latter's recent foot injury, well, guess again. On Monday's edition of The MMA Hour, Rousey, when asked about a potential matchup with the former Strikeforce and current Invicta featherweight champ, made it abundantly clear what she thinks about Justino in the wake of her 2012 suspension for performance-enhancing drugs. "If [a fight with Cyborg] happens or not, whatever," Rouse read news >>
Ten women have tried; 10 women have failed. Ronda Rousey is, with very little doubt, the best female fighter on the planet. All doubt would cease to exist entirely if not for, you know, her.

Riverview Funeral Homes
Riverview is also known as: Wayne County / Riverview city.
The city is a suburb in the Metro Detroit area, located along the shore of the Detroit River. Riverview incorporated as a village in 1922 and as a city in 1959. There are rail lines through the city. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 4. 5 square miles (12 km), of which 4. 4 square miles (11 km) is land and 0. 1 square miles (0. 26 km), or 2. 65%, is water. The main road is Fort Street (M-85). In 1950 Riverview only stretched as far west as the western end of Trenton's two northern boundaries. The rest of what is today Riverview was still part of the unincorporated Monguagon Township at that point. In the 1950s and 1960s, during the Cold War, the Department of Defense (through the United States Army) operated Nike missile launch site D-54 on the site of what is now Young Patriot's Park. The IFC (integrated fire control) site was on the site of what is now Rivergate Nursing Home and Terrace. A Nike Hercules missile is on display at the former D-54/55 double Nike site. It was placed on display in the park that now occupies the...

GIRLS ON FILM: For last year's launch of Fashion's Night Out, Anna Wintour drummed up a bevy of New York designers for the public service announcement, and had them filmed against a white studio backdrop. This time around, the mandate was to take the PSA to the streets of New York, with top models navigating the five boroughs wearing designer party dresses and the official Fashion's Night Out T-shirt, which benefits the New York City AIDS fund.
Trey Laird of Laird + Partners developed the segment, and Peter Lindbergh, who recently returned to Vogue after years working for Harper's Bazaar, filmed models Karlie Kloss, Caroline Trentini, Doutzen Kroes, Liya Kebede, Karolina Kurkova, Lara Stone, Miranda Kerr, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Joan Smalls, Chanel Iman, Stella Tennant, Lily Donaldson, Sasha Pivovarova and Jourdan Dunn. "This year, it was really about fashion hitting the streets," Laird told WWD. "It was important that all of New York City was represented."
The models were filmed across the city over two days at such locations as PS 1 in Long Island City, the Bronx Zoo, Central Park and Lincoln Center, the new home of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. David Bowie gave permission to use his 1980 hit "Fashion" for the soundtrack, after Laird asked Bowie's wife, Iman, when the two were working together on the 2010 CFDA Fashion Awards Journal.

Course Description
Guided by Edward Said's influential work on the topic of "Orientalism," this course will attempt to survey works in the Latin American canon in which representations of the "East" or an "Oriental" figure prominently. We will discuss how and why these representations are used, and what are their political, cognitive, social, geocultural, and aesthetic meanings and implications in terms of Latin America's own ambivalent relation to the history of Western expansionism. We will study works of the Spanish American colonial period--works that document how "Western" mores and institutions established themselved on a proto-"Oriental" territory. We will also study19th century works heavily influenced by Europe's Romantic exotization of the Orient during the period of imperialist expansion, and 20th century "postcolonial" narratives and essays that rediscover the East as a "sibling" or "twin" culture to the "otherness" in Latin American "civilization." We will also discuss these texts as works belonging to a Latin American literary tradition that is a Western construct.

Nov. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Fresh off the deficit-cutting supercommittee's impasse, leaders in both chambers of Congress said they are prepared to consider extending the payroll tax cut that is set to expire on Dec. 31.
The U.S. Senate may vote on an extension as soon as next week, Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said yesterday. House Speaker John Boehner said he is open to discussing the expiring payroll cut with the Obama administration.
"We told the president in September that we stand ready to have an honest and fruitful discussion with him regarding the payroll tax extension, and that invitation stands," Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said in a statement yesterday.
Lawmakers returning to Washington next week after a Thanksgiving break will spend the rest of the year debating crucial tax issues that have divided the political parties. In addition to the payroll tax cut, they must decide whether to extend expanded unemployment benefits and a package of miscellaneous tax breaks that expire Dec. 31.
President Barack Obama spoke at a Manchester, New Hampshire, high school yesterday about the payroll tax cut and said there would be economic consequences if it isn't extended.
"If Congress refuses to act, then middle-class families are going to get hit with a tax increase at the worst possible time," he said. "It would be bad for the economy. It would be bad for employment."
Democratic Leaders
Democratic leaders in the House, including Nancy Pelosi of California, Steny Hoyer of Maryland and James Clyburn of South Carolina, sent a letter to Boehner yesterday pressing him to allow a vote on a payroll tax cut extension.
Tom Porcelli, the chief U.S. market economist at RBC Capital Markets, told Bloomberg Television yesterday that if the break isn't extended into 2012, "you are literally removing 1.2 percentage points" from U.S. gross domestic product.
The Social Security portion of payroll taxes, which will be levied on the first $110,100 of income in 2012, is split between employees and employers. Each side pays 6.2 percent of wages.
For 2011, the Social Security payroll tax for employees was lowered to 4.2 percent. A worker earning $50,000 a year who is paid biweekly has been saving $38.46 in each paycheck.
This year's tax break cost the government $111.7 billion in forgone revenue, according to the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation. The U.S. transferred money from the general fund to cover the reduced funding for Social Security.
Employees' Tax
At a minimum, Obama wants to see the current tax cut for employees extended for 2012. He also has called on Congress to reduce the payroll levy to 3.1 percent for employees and employers. That proposal has languished in Congress.
Republicans including House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp of Michigan, who typically support tax cuts, have raised concerns about the cost of extending the payroll provision. Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin have said the tax holiday is a bad idea.
Lawmakers haven't said whether or how they could offset the cost of an extension. Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, has said he might support extending the cuts with an offset.
Boehner also urged Obama to press the Democratic-controlled Senate to vote on House-passed jobs bills. Among the measures are those that would reduce regulation and prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from issuing rules on greenhouse gas emissions.

So I just wanted to see what everyone's thoughts were on using a mounted flashlight with your handgun as opposed to holding a flashlight with your "weak hand" for tactical purposes? I've heard before, that when sweeping a building for "bad guys" flashlights are used in a flicking manner so the floating light does not give the bad guy a target to shoot at. What are the pros and cons of each in your opinions?

I use a hand held flashlight. Don't want to point my pistol at anyone before identifying as a friend or foe. but it does make shootin a little harder. But I practice w live ammo because I know it's harder
Although several of my handguns have rails on them. None of them have anything mounted on them. That is by choice. But this thread has made me realize that I do not have a flashlight in my night stand. I will remedy that right now.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
I use a hand held. Not that I have anything against a rail mounted light. We keep several lights burning throughout our house at night but not in the bedroom. If someone makes it that far without waking us they will need their eyes to adjust to the pitch black. If we are woken up & the lights we leave on are out but the power is still on, let's just say the sphincter level will be at defcon 5. We have two kids & I will make damn sure of who I fire at.
Let your reps know how you feel about your 2nd Amendment Right. http://www.ruger.com/micros/advocacy/takeAction.html
flash light not on the firearm. its bad technique to point a loaded gun at a loved one to assess identity or wounds with your adrenaline going 5000% overdrive. one twitch and you have an injured or dead relative. just my opinion
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
i have to agree with handheld vs. gun mounted due to safety. better to identify first then shoot. if a person was to awaken to a strange noise in the house, then as JonM said, adrenaline will definately be flowing. what if it were one of the teenagers coming home late at night and they make a huge noise getting to their bedroom? could end badly. personally i like several night lights on so the house is not entirely dark. and i use a powerful but small flashlight.
So now I have to ask, what is the logical reason/use for such a thing??
I use a gun mounted flashlight, I turn lights on as I clear my house, and call out to the people who should be there. I have also dealt with the adrenaline, and have a great deal of training. I'm not concerned with a negligent discharge due to adrenaline. I compensate some for the adrenaline and loss of fine motor control with a long heavy DA trigger pull. A target intent on harm will engage the flashlight when it comes on, I prefer not to have the delay caused by having gun and light pointed in the different directions. Also, since I don't have a light in my weak hand, I can use the phone, flip light switches, pick up pets, guide family members, and still see what I shoot.

Think about how you would open a door with your light in your free hand. you have to lower your light our pistol one.
